Rewriting notes word-for-word is too time consuming. I think a better idea is to actively process the information by making condensed study sheets. Study smarter, not harder.

Exactly.
Also, instead of rote memorization, I find it useful to understand/"rationalize"/visualize and use mnemonics or make connections, oh, and summaries too. I think this link might help clarify a bit:

- this is related to "studying smarter"
For info on notes and studying stuff, you can check out:
http://maclife.mcmaster.ca/academics..._resources.cfm
- it has short videos with transcripts of what's said and basic summaries
- a lot more info than the link above, but might help if you're really struggling
